New Bass!!!

[aks_29]

I just got my first new bass. It is a Lakland Skyline series, I think it was 55-02, it's 5 string, ash body, maple neck and fretboard, 3 band eq, and bartolini pickups, I'll have pics later tonight or tomorrow.

edit: here are the pics:

[Jabawanga]

nice. i almost bought a lakland over my schecter exotic.

[aks_29]

thanks, I will get some pics up soon, but I might not record because I'm not really very good, and I'm not sure how to use the B string yet, so maybe tomorrow, or if I feel courageous tonight, but yeah, so far it's really really good.

[trumpeter]

i need to track down a lakland to play.

[zink182]

[Jabawanga]

who cares how good you are. we just wanna hear the tone...no one will judge you. just play something easy that you know well.

[nicatterberry]

Samuel's? I needa head there sometime again.

[Jimbobntnr]

Samuel's? I needa head there sometime again.
I have no idea where Samuel's is. I was talking about DaddyOs. He's got 5 or 6 lakes.
edit: Is that the one at White Oaks?

[nicatterberry]

It was at White Oaks, but now it's over by Lazy Boy. I haven't been to DaddyOs.

[Jimbobntnr]

The guy that owns DaddyOs is a bassist, so you should definately check it out. He carries ernie balls, warwicks and laklands. He plays a lakeland on stage too with late arrival.

[nicatterberry]

Me and my friend might have to head up there sometime.

[Jimbobntnr]

Me and my friend might have to head up there sometime.
yeah, we're hijacking a thread.
This guy just got a new bass and is pretty lit about it so, Laklands kick ***.

[nicatterberry]

I played one at Samuel's once, it was pretty sweet. Didn't plug it in though.

I wanna see some pictures.

[BenJammin]

I've never played a Lakland, but they look pretty sweet. Nice buy.

[neatobassman]

Good job. I think you are part of the few who own a lakland in this forum. But like they say...it doesn't exist without pics

[Jahmez]

What did you upgrade from? I've never been able to play a Lakland, but I've heard only good things about them, so congratulations.

[aks_29]

I had an MIM Fender Jazz, and Neatobassman, I took the pics, I just need my dad to upload them to his computer from the camera and email them to me, he's out now, and he'll be back at 11, so it'll be at 11 or tomorrow during the day.

[Naveed Afzal]

Laklands are the best basses, next to Ken Smiths.

[nisakss]

Wow, what a nice bass....congrats. :cool:

[Jody LeCompte]

I love lakland, but I like eating too

Congrats

[azn_bassist]

ooooooooo....nice!!
you got that J/MM thing going on too (like me)
is that switch for coil tap? (if u kno wut that means)

[muthafunkabass]

i like it. now that i can see it. :)

[BassPlayingPineapple]

Oooh J/MM, must sound sweet, though i have to say i'm not a big fan of maple fretboards. That is maple right?

[Sade]

That bass is hawt.

I am IN LOVE with Lakland basses. I love the pickup config.

[Down'd Angel]

congrats...i really haven't payed much attention to lakland basses...but that one really stands out...

can we get some recordings of it...

[aks_29]

azn bassist: yes, it is

Bassplayingpineapple: it is maple

Down'd Angel: I did a recording, and posted it, it's not very good, but it should probably give you a general idea of the tone.

edit: And, I was wondering what were some easy songs that incorporate the low B string well. I really have no idea what to do with it, and I would like to get some ideas. Thanks

[Jabawanga]

i love that pickup configuration, my carvin fretless has the same config and i love it.

[muthafunkabass]

right on. the humbucker on mine is a beast.

[aks_29]

Who else has a Lakland on these forums?
What is the reason for so few people getting them?

Well, I've never seen one at my local GC so i'm assuming that's part of it.

[muthafunkabass]

cool :cool: give feedback on my review please.

That and the fact that the liberal media has convinced us that we should buy warwicks and schecters.

that's what I thought. But yeah, I guess it's true that there aren't that many around, I don't even have gc's here in Canada, but of the stores I've been to (3) the one where I got mine was the only one with a Lakland, and they also had a lot more basses than any of the others, if anybody's ever in montreal you should really check out this store, Italmelodie, or something like that.

[6stringslinger]

I have never seen(other than pics) or heard laklands

[White_Summer]

how much that set you back, my teacher has the same one and i was wondering, cept he got a tobacco burst

[sixner]

I have never seen(other than pics) or heard laklands

if you've listened to any incubus songs on A Crow left of the Murder and afterwards... you've heard a lakland :thumb:
:lol:

i loved the one i played...

That recording is terrible quality.

I can't hear any "tone" either - it just sounds like rolled off treble to me.
